Trump did well

Your editorial response to the midterm elections in the United States was jubilant. But hold on. Presidents Obama and Clinton lost more in their mid-terms than Trump. Trump concentrated on the Senate races, where the judicial influence will reside for the next few years. He also managed to get rid of some less than supportive Republicans.

Democrat stars Beto O’Rourke, Stacey Abrams and Andrew Gillum did not make the grade.

Considering Facebook and Twitter bans on conservatives it’s a wonder Trump didn’t do worse.
